We used a variety of media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages of creating our final film trailer, poster and website:
Research and Planning
YouTube We used YouTube to gain inspiration, for ideas of camara angles, movement, characters and shot frames. We looked at a variety of social realism's to gain a wider insight into the genre, again to gain ideas.
Blogger We were able to gather all our research in one place and create an order and organization within our group.
surveymonkey.com We created a questionnaire online to gain information about what the target audience wants. We published this on the Purple Tilt Facebook and Twitter sites and also our own, to gain as much feedback as possible.
Construction
iMovie We uploaded all our footage to create an order and edit the shots into a trailer. We also experimented with the effects of colour on the clips.
Wix.com We used Wix to create our website, it is a free website builder and was simple and clear to use, it allowed us to upload images and our final trailer.
PhotoShop We edited pictures, our typography and created our poster in PhotoShop.
Garage Band We experimented with sound effects, however we did not use any in the end as it created more drama without. We also experimented with the backing track for the trailer, using different genres of music to see which would fit best, it became clear that classical was the best suited.
Video Camera We were able to capture the original shots which made up the teaser trailer. We used a tripod mainly but also taped the camera to the top of a swing and round-a-bout.
YouTube converters We used YouTube converters to convert the backing music for our trailer from a video to a sound file.
Evaluation Stage
Twitter & Facebook We used this social networking sites to gain feedback from the target audience, by linking our trailer to the sites from YouTube.
YouTube We gained feedback on the finished product and also allowed us to copy the link on Facebook and Twitter
